In our small series of patients presented we demonstrate that PCI and TAVR performed concurrently in the hybrid operating room is a feasible option in patients undergoing TAVR with coexisting CAD. Furthermore, we propose this single-stage approach in such high-risk patients as it decreases the number of procedures performed and may theoretically lower cost and hospital stay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
